Item DescriptionGorgeous Tabriz rug hand-knotted in Tabriz itself which made it quite rare and very valuable. Made of silk and wool. Beautiful colourful and good looking design from famous rug and carpet designer in Iran. Unbelievably fine details and hand-made quality for the money.Over 4 years of works of professional rug wavers. We price our silk-wool rugs according to knot density. You'll get
what you pay for. Knot density is a traditional measure for quality of
handmade carpets. It refers, quite simply, to the number of knots per
square inch. For two carpets of the same age, origin, condition and
design, the one with the higher number of knots will be the more
valuable. Knot density is normally measured in knots per square inch
(KPSI) which is simply the number of vertical knots across one inch of
carpet multiplied by the number of horizontal knots in the same area.
Hand-tying of knots is a very labour-intensive task. An highly professional weaver
can tie almost 15,000 knots per day. More difficult patterns with an
above-average knot density can only be woven by a skilful weaver, thus
increasing the production costs even more.
